Like the Darkness, the Light appears to be intelligent in some sense. However, whereas the Darkness seems all too willing to communicate with its servants in their own languages, the Light appears to be more aloof and cryptic, communicating in symbolic visions and signs, if at all. Likewise, whereas the Darkness appears to be associated with memory (as exemplified by [[Deepsight]]), the Light appears to be associated with forgetting, as Lightbearers lose all memory of their past life upon being resurrected and gifted the Light. | Like the Darkness, the Light appears to be intelligent in some sense.
